Q: This method covers making a simple one-track recording using your Microphone and Windows Voice Recorder. If you want to do more advanced multi-track recording (such as for your band/music project), see How to Record a Song Audacity. Since most laptops have an onboard microphone, you shouldn't need to connect an external one to record simple voice audio. Desktop PC users will need an external microphone. Here's how to test whether your microphone is ready to record:  Click the Start {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/0\/07\/Windowsstart.png","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/0\/07\/Windowsstart.png\/30px-Windowsstart.png","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":460,"bigWidth":"30","bigHeight":"30","licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>I edited this screenshot of a Windows icon.\n<\/p><p>License: <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external text\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Public_domain\">Public Domain<\/a><br>\n<\/p><\/div>"} menu and select {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/d\/d0\/Windowssettings.png","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/d\/d0\/Windowssettings.png\/31px-Windowssettings.png","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":445,"bigWidth":"31","bigHeight":"30","licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>I edited this screenshot of a Windows icon.\n<\/p><p>License: <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external text\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Public_domain\">Public Domain<\/a><br>\n<\/p><\/div>"} Settings. Click System. Click Sound. Select your microphone from the "Choose your input device" menu on the right panel. Locate the pulsating bar below "Test your microphone" in the right panel. Speak into your microphone. If the bar moves as you speak, it is detecting audio through your microphone. If the bar doesn't move, click Device properties right above the bar, and try raising the volume. If you're still having issues, see How to Connect a Microphone to a Computer. It's usually at the bottom-left corner of the screen. This will search your computer for the Voice Recorder app, which is a free app that's included with Windows 10. It's the microphone-shaped app icon at the top of the results. This opens the Voice Recorder app. It's at the bottom-left corner of the app. Voice Recorder will begin capturing audio from your microphone. If you're recording your voice, speak directly into the microphone to record yourself. It's at the center of the window. This saves the recording and returns you to the main Voice Recorder screen. Recordings are automatically saved to the Sound Recordings folder inside Documents. Your recordings appear in the left panel with the most recent recording at the top.  To change the name of your file, right-click its name in the left panel and select Rename. To share your recording with others, right-click the file and select Share. This allows you to select an app to share with.
A: Test your microphone. Click the Start  menu. Type voice recorder. Click Voice Recorder in the search results. Click blue-and-white microphone to start recording. Click the blue-and-white square to stop recording. Click the recording date to listen to the recording.

Q: Cut a skinny strip out of white crepe paper or tissue paper. Fold it in half several times, then cut a long, skinny petal shape out of it. This should give you several petals. Repeat this step until you have about 20 to 24 petals. Have the petals taper into a skinny tab at the bottom so that you can secure them more easily. If you used crepe paper, you can gently pull the petals apart at the center to widen them. If you used tissue paper, you can fold the petals over a toothpick or skewer lengthwise to create a slight crease. Make the petals more realistic by cutting a notch into the tip Begin by cutting a 1 to 2-inch (2.54 to 5.08-centimeter) tall rectangle from green tissue paper or crepe paper. Next, cut a jagged, grass-like fringe into one of the long edges. This will make the base of the daisy and help cover up the bottom part of the petals. Plan on making the rectangle about 5 inches (12.7 centimeters) long. You can always trim it down later if it's too long. Begin by folding a piece of green tissue or crepe paper in half. Cut a half-oval out of it, then cut notches into the curved edge of the oval. Unfold the oval to reveal your leaf. You can make as many leaves as you want. 2 to 3 would be ideal, however.
A:
Cut petals out of crepe paper or tissue paper. Shape the petals further, if desired. Cut a jagged fringe from green paper for the flower base. Cut some leaf shapes, if desired.
